[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a re-post of the second picture I posted on TN. I didn't know anything about post processing. Due to all you TN-ers I learned a lot in this. In comparison to the first I posted this one, I first reduced noise, cropped, then used USM (100%,0.2,0) five times and then used neat image again to reduce some noise. Maybe decrease of contrast and increase of brightness would add a little to the picture. Maybe I could have done it better. If you think so, please let me know

comment first post:
"Rather classical shot of this tufted titmouse. I did some cropping, but after playing with the positioning for a while I didn't succeed to find a surprising composition."

Really cute and beatiful species. Looks nice with neat BG and sharp enough. The ice pieces take attraction a bit.
TFS.

Hi Jacob,
Great DOF of this tufted. Exposure is just nice. I like the straight look in the eye.
Thanks.

Hello Jacob,
A good close-up of this little guy!
Well framed subject, details in the plumage are captured very well...
Good clarity in colours, DOF spot on and presented in a fine composition!

Ha Jacob,

Een mooie shot van deze titmouse en inderdaad een verbetering van het origineel,wat betreft het leren en omgaan met PP heb ik inderdaad ook veel hier opgestoken,kijk maar naar mijn startfotos deze zijn ook bijna allemaal soft,weet niet of je Photoshop CS2 gebruikt,maar ik heb laatst het photoshop CS2 boek (scott kelby) in het nederlands vertaald aangeschaft,dit is echt een aanrader vwb post processing ook betreft het verscherpen van fotos ed hoe dit het best te doen.

Groetjes,

Paul

Hi Jacob

Stunning shot! Love the pose and catchlight in the eye. Excellent OOF BG to compliment the shot. Congrats!

Hi Jacob...

Very beautiful image, soft and clear tone without loosing its details, nice capture...!

Hi Jacob,
This is a wonderful capture of this nice little one. I can't remember if I commented the first version but this picture told me something when I saw it... I think you did great in post-processing because details, composition and exposure are very well done and I like the pose of the bird. This is so interesting to see how we learn from this site. Like you, I learned a lot so far here. I don't know if its possible but I think that I saw this bird here, yesterday... I'll make some research about it :) Thanks,
Claudine

Well done, big improvement on the original. This is what TN is all about learning from other to improve your work, then give back to others what you've learnt.
Good job on the PP and the composition is now very good.
Well done, keep exploring.

Hi Jacob,
Well done! You have definitely improved your PP skills. A good shot that is nicely processed but not overly done. TFS!
Mike

Hello Jacob,
Much better than first one posted due to PP.
Nice bird..
TFS

This is a lovely image, as it is, Jacob.
I find the POV, DOF, colors and sharpness quite attractive.
Well done and TFS.
